Excel's column width format box

Does anyone know why I am unable to enter a number into Excel's column width
box, yet using the mouse, I am able to adjust the width. When opening the
text box, I can delete the number that appears, but am unable to even reenter
that one after it is deleted. I must tell you that I'm a new user who's
working through numerous tutorials.
Thanks,

Hi
do you get an error message or what happens exactly

Printing an Excel doucument In this example, I have a document of 100 pages, when I print the
document, the column headers only print on the first page and not the
subsequent pages. also I would like all the pages to be numbered. is therea
fix for this?
Hi Richard,
For your first question goto File>Page Setup>Sheet tab and
look for the option 'Rows to repeat at top'
For your second question goto View>Header and Footer and
look at the &[page] and &[pages] options in your footer.

Excel: extract and sum numerals from mixed text/numeral cell rangeI have a large (30x20) grid of cells with data, and I want to extract
and then sum up certain numerals from this entire range. The catch is
that the data is mixed numerals and text, as you'll see below.
Here's an abbreviated 3x3 example, with a value in each of the nine
cells:
V7.1 T H
P1 A T
B V3 P4.5
If I just wanted to sum up the instances of "T" appearing, I could use
COUNTIF() for the entire range to come up with answer ("T" appears 2
times). Easy enough.
But, what I'm trying to accomplish is to sum up the numerals associated

Error in formula displayed for linear and 2nd order curve fits in Excel 2003I have created trendlines for some pretty simple data using both 2nd
order polynomial and linear fits. In both cases, the displayed
formulas have their 1st and 2nd order coefficients wrong by a factor
of 10!! (I have read lots of posts about increasing precision but this
is not what I am up against). Has anyone seen this?
What version of Excel? Could you include the data in a follow up post (not
as an attachment), along with the coefficients you've computed?

Windows UpdateMy problem is similar to someone else's below(about Excel 2003 not being able
to update), the only difference is that I don't want Excel to update at all.
I don't even use it. But the yellow shield kept telling me that it had 1
update available, which was Excel 2003, so, out of annoyance, I installed it.
After failing to install several times, I decided to uninstall Excel from
Microsoft Office(Pro Edition 2003). Even after uninstalling Excel, I still
got the windows update alert. How do I stop it?
Extra info:
When windows update first appeared, I did a custom instal...

Removed content in right columns and limited size of spreadsheetI was trying to get rid of the contents in the columns to the right of my
spreadsheet and instead I accidently deleted everything to the right (area is
now grey). Now I can't insert new columns because I have limited the size of
the spreadsheet. How can I recover columns to the right? I can't just click
undo because I have saved and gone out of the spreadsheet.
The data in deleted columns is lost
I do not understand how you think you have limited the size of the worksheet
That is not possible
tell us more

Excel programI have a simple program in excel for data entry. When I
protect the sheet, and use tab to move about within the
spreadsheet, sometimes the tab button will not move the
cursor to the next cell. It will pick a random cell to go
to next. Is there a way that I can designate what cell it
will go to next. Thanks for your help, jb
On a protected sheet, it is going to the next unprotected cell. So, if you
don't want it to go to a cell, protect it.

MFC: Excel Automation Can't Quit from Excel. Please help...Hi I use MFC Visual C++ 4.2.
I am automating Excel from my application.
My problem is I cannot quit the Excel after the automation process finished!
I checked it still exists on the Process lists and the most DANGEROUS is

I have used the app.Quit() method like all the people used but it DOES NOT

What should I do?
Thank you.

Excel number / date conversion
I've just pulled some data out of an ODBC connection into Access an
then exported it to Excel.
The dates are currently in the format 20031109. But the built in dat
convertor (from Format Cells) doesn't do anything, even if I convert i
to a 'proper' number first.
How can I convert this to 09/11/2003 so that I can do some date - base
arithmetic and work out difference in days

Excel charts should allow "switching" series on or offA plot (chart) of time series data may be used for many purposes. From my
use two reasons I use such plots are:
Studying individual time series trends; and
Overall impression of all results.
But when studying multiple time series data a chart can become cluttered.
It would be useful if individual series could be seleceted as visible or
invisible so that they could be evaluated without losing the total plot.
At the moment the only way to "unclutter" the plot is to remove the
temporaily-unwanted series but it can be time consuming to reconstruct the
plot.

configure hyperlink formatting
I have added a special formatting to a cell and also the value it
shows.
When I make this cell as a hyperlink to another sheet (Ctrl-K)
then Excel automatically changes the formatting of the cell
(It achanges the font size, added underline, and when one clicks the
hyperlink - the color also changes.)
I want the hyperlink *to change nothing in the formatting*
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!

double line spacing using excel 2000I have a paragraph of writing, how do i get the text to be double line
spaced? I am using excel 2000.
Excel doesn't have a line spacing setting. You could add line breaks by
pressing Alt+Enter at the end of a line, then another Alt+Enter to
create a blank line.

Hi Ted,
You will need to name the list from the other sheet. So, select the list,
name it and then in the data valadation allow list and in source box enter

Inner Borders in Excel 2007Before in pre-Excel 2007 world, I used to be able to select a range of
cells, click on a button to get vertical or horizontal boarders for
the range selected. In Excel 2007 I can only apply outer boarders.
Was this feature removed? I now have go to "format cells", then
select the "borders" tab to do the same. Where did the buttons for
inner vertical/horizontal boarders go?
Thanks.
